Description: Asian art was a source of inspiration for Western craftsmen and played a significant role in the European focus in the world. Nevertheless, Europeans soon felt the need to change the look of the products to their own ends. The result is a fascinating blend of cultures. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has beautiful examples of costly private orders from China, Japan, India, Ceylon and Indonesia. The finest of these are highlighted in "Asian Wealth."
